In the Making: Julia, Sesame Street’s First Character with Autism

April 29, 2016 By Diane

Dr. Wendy Stone, director of the READi Lab, was recently interviewed by KCTS 9 for its IN Close segment, which highlights current affairs in the Pacific Northwest. In this segment, Dr. Stone discusses her role in advising Sesame Street on creating its first character with autism, a four-year-old named Julia. Dr. Stone has been a primary consultant to Sesame Street since 2008, when she was asked to co-write a comprehensive review about the state of the science in autism. To read more about the iterative process of creating Julia and learn more about the Sesame Street “See Amazing” initiative, watch the KCTS9 segment by clicking here.

And ICYMI…

Dr. Stone will be co-presenting a public lecture that is part of the Allen L. Edwards Lecture Series on Wednesday, May 4th 7:30 – 9:30 PM.  She and Dr. David Mandell (University of Pennsylvania) will be discussing the topic of Autism Intervention in the Community at Kane Hall on the University of Washington campus.
